Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Check it, uh
Protect this, ***ga, for the necklace, I throw the deathwish
The pretty slim sex **** to rep this
Remember Fox said this, we on some next ****
We are blessed this, the scars on our back mean we meant this
To lie for 'em, the twenty-five sentence to keep my eyes on 'em
I'm straight knowin' Allah'll shine on 'em
**** drugs and drama, opposite three pretty thugs and a don mama
Fill in the rest, the steel in their chest
When Boogs threw the kiss of death, it was over and we laid out
Chill, I was open off the way he **** ****
It was real, for real, I was **** with Mills and he was fragile
You wildin', the Brown Stallion, stay stylin'
On the low foulin', the whole Firm wildin'
We lucked it, I know the trick **** **** **** with
On some duck ****, heard through the grape that she **** dick
Firm, Sos' and Esco, mad loco, Fox and 'Mega for whatever
And through this cheddar, we gon' stay family till we fry though
The fam will never split, even if one of us got old
Along with our get gos, we gon' blaze till the brick goes
Peep the Na-na, sweet taboo, The Firm tattooed on the ta-ta
Now, tell me what crew will hold it down like we do, Da-Da?
[Verse 2]
Till the death of this, murderous moves pursue effortless
Ice necklace, high-priced dressed executives
Peep the grammar, slim built, strong stamina
**** **** **** long with **** ****
Play for keeps, any shut-eye, you stay sleep
**** remain deep, get shells thrown at ya Range Jeep
Giuliani sweep got all the kings goin' up creek
Devil life biz, now who left controllin' the streets?
No intelligence, strictly slow **** minds are negligent
It's evident, Feds vest-up, raid ya residence
We all for livin', heavyweight Firm division
Mind detect mind, eatin' swine's against my religion
You know the steez, take aim, **** **** ****
It's the prophecies, not the philosophy of Socrates
[Verse 3]
All thoroughbreds takin' the corners, y'all need to join us
Firm, most powerful nation of rap performers
High-class generals, confidants, payin' lawyers
Swift as Oscar De La Hoya, Green Beret warriors
Fakes, I peep 'em like the J. Kennedy tape
In the nude with Jude, bustin' all in her face
In other words, yo, you see through
My man built the Sugar Hill from a sweet tooth
We all eat, 'cause I speak truth
Uneducated black youth, street diploma
Teach Greeks and Romans, but the legacy was stolen
It's a Firm thing, generally gleam
I wrote the theme on how to sell a million
While you crabs is mad at your promotion team
I roll with the nicest, Fox, Black Isis, pushin' Benz without a license
Gear tight as vice-grips
Nas got nineteen wifeys, seven sheisty, nine of 'em Pisces
Three white meats under Tai Chi
Wildin', big links is heavy like bricks
That you throw on a pitbull neck while feedin' him raw steak
It's core take, more cake, I take the crown
Off the so-called king of the town and lock it down
[Verse 4]
Yeah, dun, that's it, dun, y'all **** rip that ****, yo
Word is bond
That's that real **** for all y'all fake mother****** out there, yo
That's how we do it from Queensbridge, *****, The Firm, what?
This is Jungle, yo, big Jungle, boy, what? Y'all ****** don't want it
Yo, Style, if these ****** don't know right now, yo
***k all them ****** then
